Had my second honeymoon there 9 years ago..
the area is splendid and August is the best time to be there.. especially after the Sturgis crowd has thinned. you can hike, bike, and especially motorcycle, the roads are perfect for it.. weather should be perfect..

Looks like I'm in. Got forcibly retired, so no e-mail but put me down for a XL t-shirt. That photo just shines! Only been out there twice so far. Am inclined to head out again soon, but will definitely put it on the calendar. You just gotta make a pilgrimage to Moonshine Gulch Saloon in Rochford. (pop. 25) Run by a crusty old gal named Betsy, one of the best people in the hills. Good food, good people and out in the middle of exactly NOWHERE. Oh, yeah. What's it gonna cost to camp in this campground? I mostly camp on GPAA claimsites where I can camp free(for $70 membership) 12 Hr trip from Ames Ia, I might be game for carpooling someone, but no e-mail to PM with, bleepit!

nothing if you don't want it too.....i have already paid for the site for 2 nights ($200 total) i thought if people wanted to make a donation to help pay for the site that would be great, but nobody is obligated or expected to donate in any way
